Dollyak: Looool. Shut ya gob, illiterate and vacuous miserable sod. No one on here has ever schooled me and I'm far more knowledgeable than almost every poster on this from on almost all subject-matter. It isn't too difficult to see my influence in a lot of posts, from politics, to international relations, to economics...heck, even a lot of words most people added to their lexicon on here came from me. That's how influential I'm, biitch. But one thing tho, I don't like taking credit for anything. However, with how I've schooled people on here - I should be an Emeritus Professor right now, biitch. Just shut up, scandalous pleb. And in ya fvcked and miserable life, don't ever get rude to me again when I'm educating ya dumb and ignorant arse cos I won't hesitate to slap the wig off ya head. Stick to village fables, jejune tales, and faux reality when I'm around. |

Dollyak: Lmao @ thread where I was educating ignorant freshies about an experience that has to do with glass ceilings in the UK that they can't relate to cos most of them do low level jobs. Wisdom blinkered heifers can't relate to. Only someone born and raised in the system, doing mid-level and high-level jobs can relate to it. Funny enough, after dropping the knowledge these louts couldn't relate to on here - there was a programme in the UK dedicated to discussing it. Ditto institutionalised racism in the UK and why no black person is among the top executives of the UK's FTSE 100. Then the snub at the Brit awards also happened. That's the type of knowledge I drop - I'm way ahead of my time but monkeys won't be able to relate. |

Anyway, fake Oxbridge grad, queensmith, cum dollyak, it's past ya bed time. Don't quote me again...your low IQ is contagious. Make sure you wash ya pum before you sleep cos word on the road is that ya pum stinks like decayed fish. I bet a lot of these guys don't know you're obese with a fvcked face, no? Most of these thirsty nyggahs would get cat-fished. And when you create a new handle, with a faux reality about Antarctica and Siberia, stay away from my posts if you don't want to get exposed again. I just gave you baby slaps tonight - the next one would be brutal. I'm out of here. |

cokoduck:My friend read this and note dat it's wat ur own governor had to say. Atleast he said d truth. i. That the peaceful demonstration by youths who allegedly belong to the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) and the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) to mark the Igbo Day was hijacked by hoodlums whose designs were antithetical to the peace and security of Anambra State. ii. That these elements who infiltrated the peaceful demonstration, turned violent at Nkpor; fired live bullets at the policemen who were detailed to watch the procession and ensure that it was peaceful and burnt down a patrol van to send a dangerous signal to the entire neighbourhood that Anambra had lost the peace we had all enjoyed for two unbroken years. iii. a. Nothing happened inside St Edmunds Catholic Church Nkpor. The confrontation was at a nearby Primary School. b. No house was burnt. We counted about 2 cars at Eke Nkpor and a motorcycle at Afor Nkpor. c. His Excellency, Governor Willie Obiano has already expressed his deepest condolences to families who lost their dear ones to this avoidable shootout. d. Items recovered i. Dynamite ii. Charms iii. Machetes iv. Banners (IPOB etc) iv. That the actual number of casualties can be ascertained from |

Shym3xx: Actually, we do have a black executive operating in one of the top 100 FTSE companies: Tidjane Thiam, (an Ivorian) former CEO for Prudential but now works with Credit Suisse. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tidjane_Thiam Although his appointment was fairly recent. June 2015. Anyway how've you been? |
Re: Army: Why We Attacked Protesting MASSOB, IPOB Members by Shym3xx: 2:37pm On Jun 03, 2016 |
EfemenaXY: He is more of a French by the French absorption system from its colonies - a coconut juice - that got there via France. How many black Brits are there? No one in the UK can relate to that guy - he's a French CEO. Where are the black Brits on the list? |
Re: Army: Why We Attacked Protesting MASSOB, IPOB Members by EfemenaXY: 3:29pm On Jun 03, 2016 |
Shym3xx: That may be true, but I think the key issue was that there weren't any blacks achieving such heights in their careers (sportsmen/women & entertainers aside), re: the glass ceiling. Tidjane is black, irrespective of his mannerisms or how he acts. |
Re: Army: Why We Attacked Protesting MASSOB, IPOB Members by Shym3xx: 4:04pm On Jun 03, 2016 |
EfemenaXY: But the topic was about glass ceilings for blacks in the UK - not France. However, you cited an Ivorian/French millionaire who worked his way up in France and made his millions in Ivory Coast. And he ended up becoming the CEO of a French company listed on the LSE. What's the correlation between this man and being black in the UK? What stage of his life and rise has anything to do with the UK? |
Re: Army: Why We Attacked Protesting MASSOB, IPOB Members by EfemenaXY: 4:52pm On Jun 03, 2016 |
Shym3xx: True, the topic was about blacks in the UK having to contend with the existence or perceived existence of glass ceilings constraining or limiting them...us...from achieving the very peak of our careers, by virtue of being black, irrespective of one's ethnic background. You and I know that as far as racism is concerned, it matters not if you're African, West Indian, American (I think), etc. Simply being black is enough grounds to get discriminated upon - that's the general perception (not saying I believe that school of thought, but it's a separate topic for discussion). Regarding the first half of your statement in bold, the correlation between Tidjane being black and in the UK is: he is a black man based in, and working in the UK, who defied the "norm" to achieve what no other black man has being able to achieve in the UK by being the very first black to head not just one, but two FTSE 100 companies, thereby questioning the perception of whether there truly are limits to what blacks can achieve. This guy is so talented, that Credit Suisse, one of the top 5 Investment Banks in the world actually sacked their CEO to get Tidjane on board from Prudential. Inspirational stuff. Re: the latter part of your statement in bold regarding what stage of his life and rise has got to do with the U.K: I'm assuming what you're asking is what he's ever done for the UK? If yes, then I'll say he's done a fair bit. Why? Because, prior to working with Prudential (based in the UK) as the CEO from 2009 - 2015 (at which point he became the first black person to lead a FTSE 100 company), he also worked as a senior executive for AVIVA - a British mulinatural insurance company headquartered in London, which also happens to be the largest general insurer and leading life and pensions provider in the UK. The reason I'm mentioning these are because in your post (the one I quoted first), you mentioned no black person has ever headed a FTSE 100 company. That aside, it's also been rumoured that he's been penned down to head the IMF, and when interviewed, he neither alluded to, not disputed the claims. |
Re: Army: Why We Attacked Protesting MASSOB, IPOB Members by Shym3xx: 5:03pm On Jun 03, 2016 |
EfemenaXY I'm going to flip ya logic and correlate it with a next example now. And cite other examples. This isn't even a topic worth debating by anyone who has lived in the UK for more than 10 years and has ingratiate himself/herself into the system. Only those who just came over and are opportune to earn a few pounds, which would mean a better life when compared to where they came from would debate it. There was a uproar during the last Brit awards cos the UK's black music scene was snubbed. However, Drake and Rihanna were invited to perform and were nominated for awards. Based on the logic you're applying here, I'd wager that you won't call it a snub cos Drake and Rihanna, who're Canadian and Bajan/American respectively were invited. But what's the correlation between Drake and Rihanna and, the UK's black music scene, especially when they won't even get nominated for any award that's for British acts and whatever nomination they'll get will fall under international acts? That's ya logic right here. Mere looking at Primetime TV and the lack of diversity, is enough to paint a picture and, there are complaints all the time. Since Sir Trevor McDonald retired, how many black people are on Primetime News? Then you have ex footballers who complain all the time about lack of diversity when it comes to coaches in the EPL and the only guy who made it to the EPL, Chris Hughton, was sacked for no reason and these days he's only good for helping clubs get promotion from the championship to the EPL. And once he gets the club there - he gets sacked. There are loads of examples to cite. Anyway, excerpts from an article about Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje's experience (if you don't know him, he's a successful hollywood actor): "From the time I was a young actor, I have been capable of playing anything," Walker says. "That's not the case when I go up for a job. There's a glass ceiling in England - few roles, usually stereotypes." Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, the British actor who plays Mr Eko in Lost, agrees. "You know, I moved back to England a few years ago because I wanted to do some work at home," he says, "but there was just nothing for me. We have great writers, great directors, but the material's just not forthcoming. If you're an artist, you need to be fed and the food comes from Hollywood right now." |

EfemenaXY: I never said, "no black person has ever headed a FTSE 100 company." I said, "why no black person is among the top executives of the UK's FTSE 100." There's a difference and in context of the argument about UK black - I'm 100% right. The topic was about glass ceilings for blacks in the UK - not black people whose rise came from other countries in Europe. There's no black brit among the top executives of the UK's FTSE 100 - Thiam isn't a black brit, and he never lived in the UK till he got to Prudential as an executive. So how am I wrong? This is the guy's biography - apart from heading Prudential - at what stage of his life did he live in the UK? In 1986 he was offered a scholarship to study for an MBA at INSEAD and join the 'McKinsey Fellows Programme' in Paris. He received an MBA from INSEAD in 1988 (Dean's list). In 1989 he took a one-year sabbatical from McKinsey to participate in the World Bank's Young Professionals Program in Washington, D.C. He returned to McKinsey in 1990, working first in New York City and then in Paris. ^^^^Where in his Biography did he live in the UK apart from when he moved from Aviva to Prudential? So what has he got to do with being black in the UK? |
